Tonight someone drilled into my fuel tank....
I was wondering if is a cheaper way to fix this or does the whole fuel tank need to be replaced? How much would this cost roughly?

I have a honda integra 1988 model

so shattered after such a nice long weekend........:(

im guessing the drill slipped a few times coz he was a retard.... I also noticed that he accidently drilled into my boot as well....

If you're in Sydney I have a 90 DA9 tank you can have for $60 including pump.

Not 100% sure if they are same.

This

But the tank will have to be removed first.
Don't do this with the tank on the car !
